we signed a bunch of paperwork on wednesday (seriously, it was a major arm workout), picked up the keys yesterday, and have been busy packing up all our stuff with simultaneous grins of joy and amazement and thoughts of what-the-heck-did-we-just-get-ourselves-into fear. it was mostly the grins, though. we are very excited and plan to move into the new digs sometime in april. the house was built in 1956 and very little has been changed. the bones of the house are amazing, the yards are extremely well-kept and nicely landscaped, and all that needs to be done is some cosmetic work (i put in some pictures of the current state of everything below). the kitchen is original (we bought a dishwasher yesterday because we're grownups now and made a grownup purchase...and the kitchen lacks a dishwasher). we need to paint everything and are going to lift up the carpets (there is original oak hardwood underneath), and put in some ceiling fans. and some other stuff. it will be lots of projects, not as much money for fun things (like travel and adventures, dang it!), and best of all, it's ours. i'm grateful we were able to stay in livermore, and grateful we found the little home meant for our little tribe. i'm sad to leave our current ward, but am excited to meet the cast and crew that makes up livermore 4th ward.
andiamo and on to new adventures!

bright a yellow this room is). |

why move furniture when you can
just paint around it? |
